1. Mix wood species. More than 180,000 Houzzers have filed away this photo of a headboard wall made of reclaimed wood. The wall is composed of wood from four barns in Lancaster County — aged hemlock lumber brings in silvery gray, while mushroom boards made from cypress add warmth and knots to the texture palette. The designers installed the wood in its raw form — no sanding or staining. As for how to arrange it, designer David Fierabend said that they played around with the composition. He described the final result as “kind of jigsaw-y puzzle-ish, but with clean, sharp edges.”Another detail not revealed in this daylight shot provides another great idea: backlighting the wall. The designers placed the accent wall out 8 inches from the blue wall, then backlighted it to provide a glowing ambience after dark.Read more about this home
20. Here’s another bedroom with a great wooden feature wall. But that’s not all this space has going for it. In fact, Houzz users love everything about it. The feature wall was created from three different types of reclaimed barn wood. The blue paint is a custom mix by Behr Ultra, taken from the painting on the left.

The reclaimed hemlock and mushroom wood combination carries into the bedroom on a large headboard. It's 8 inches from the wall, allowing room for backlighting. "It gives it just a little bit of an Austin Powers room vibe," Fierabend says. So does the elegant gray shagadelic rug.Bookshelves: CB2; rug: Shaw; duvet cover: Pintuck in Slate, West Elm
